I go on 7 diff sites that are either all CB or have Forum fer them. In the past 2 yrs i have read about more strings breaking & then the Bow busting than i ever recall before. Are the owners & users just not paying attention while c0cking & shooting ? The good equipment isn't cheap & even warranty shipping gets costly sending them in every month or so. Are companys pushing the material they use to the limits ? Would purchasing a less costly model to learn on & then move on up to higher priced models ? I was just pondering this & figured i would post it

Are you postulation Mike? Hehehehehe

I don't even knowed what that word means, so i ain't admittin nutten that may look like i am more than a half a bubble off

Are you stating a fact to build up to something? If you are right. It is simple enough to visually inspect everything before shooting, after shooting or while shooting. You often hear from all the different bows owners that they noticed that their bows started to shoot erratic and then they noticed the serving separation. They should have done something before that. Accuracy suffers when the latch holds the actual string between the servings not when it sits on a serving when it just started to separate which is when the string should have been reserved.
I also think that there is a sudden need for strings so much so that the quality control is not what is should be.

I thinks several factors may be contributing to this occurrence
1. Crossbow use has grown exponentially of late, including folks that have little or no experience with bows, much less crossbows.
More use, by inexperienced folks, inevitably leads to more problems.
2. Speed sells and does a lower price point. Faster bows built to lower standards are a recipe for disaster....especially when considering the above.
3. Boo may have a point about poor strings. Only broken sting I've experience so far was a factory string several yrs ago. Poor quality was the issue: It had tag ends at each end of an endless loop string, neither one of which turned out to be properly tied or otherwise anchored prior to serving. String broke on 5th shot. As a result I make and re-serve my own.
4. ALL crossbows, and esp the ones that hold back considerable weight, take a lot of preventive maintenance; and I don't just mean string waxing. Check to see that all screws are tight; check integrity of arrow and esp the nock (Since a cracked plastic nock caused a blow-up, I only use aluminum nocks) each time it is shot; check serving and string for wear; cycle out defects BEFORE they cause problems. Most folks don't do the maintenace dillegently.
5. Take care that no obstructions are in the way of the limbs and the arrow is properly seated, much less seated at all. Dryfires, even partial ones, generally cause string breaks

DNK i am just bringing to light that thar be lots of noobs shooting CB's. They don't read their instructions enuff. They do cause much of the damage then post of the poor quality of said CB's. As Cossack said speed sells & i reckon if'en those that tear up their Bows then blame the maker its bad deal. I guess i am leading up to sumpin. Some companys certainly push the speed envelope fer the cheap material they use in their products. Maybe in reality the amount of Bows being torn up isn't in large amounts. Maybe its the owners of said Bows belong to 7 diff Forums & post it on every one of them. That makes it look like alot of Bows having trouble!
